In the past, they managed to find flaws not only in commercial products utilized by millions of users worldwide – including MSN, PayPal and Barracuda –, but also in applications or services used by government and military organizations. The ones responsible for finding the security hole are Vulnerability Lab researchers Benjamin Kunz Mejri and Chokri Ben Achour who have once again demonstrated their impressive bug-finding skills. One of them allowed an attacker to reset the usernames and passwords of any Skype account, and the other one could have been leveraged to bypass session token protections.

If you’d prefer not to have a Microsoft account associated with your device, you can remove it. If you do, Windows 10’s Setup says this is how you can avoid signing in with a Microsoft account: You might click “Learn More” to find more information about the account creation process. If you try to click “Next” or “Create account,” Windows 10 will ask you for “a valid email address, phone number, or Skype name.” There’s no apparent way around it. Windows 10 Home doesn’t have this option at all.

But that’s only on Windows 10 Professional.

On Windows 10 Professional, there’s reportedly a “Domain Join Instead” option that will create a local user account. During the first-time setup process-either after you install Windows 10 yourself or while setting up a new PC with Windows 10-you’re now prompted to “Sign in with Microsoft” and there are no alternate options.
